Yes... sadly this is my final mission with the Mission To Create blog. The blog is continuing on with only the layout team. But I'm okay with that... that just means I get to play along with the missions and have some time for other fun!

Isn't this the cutest little moped? I cut it from the My Mind's Eye paper.

I had some fun with some stamps.... the sentiment is from the Mailbox Greetings from Papertrey Ink, the Hello definition stamp is from Hero Arts.

The Have a Great Trip! decal is from the Passport to Adventure stamp set from myStamp BOX. I also used the Stamp Canceling stamp from the Road Trip stamp set to create the background for my stamp focal area. The stamp image is also from the Road Trip set!

Come on out and join the final challenge for the Mission to Create card team. You can WIN a fabulous kit from our February sponsor... Artful Delight!

It's my week over on the Creative Prompts 4U blog this week. This week I chose a photo of the most beautiful room. I mean... I could totally live in this room... warm greys and browns, cream and a lush green colour palette.

For this week's inspiration, I completely stole the colour palette to use on my creation and this is what I came up with...Thinking of You With Sympathy

My boys and I went to Calgary late last week to do some shopping and I just happened to pick up a copy of the February issue of Scrapbook Trends...And inside on page 84 I found my "Make a Wish" layout using all of my favourite myStamp BOX stamps!!

This is my first time being published with Scrapbook Trends and all I can say is that this publication is beautiful! I know I'll treasure this copy for years to come!

Now let's find out who won my Valentine's Day RAK from the myStamp BOXLove Train Blog Hop this past weekend...

Comment #21 belongs to...

Congrats Gisele! Please email me with your full name and mailing address so I can send off your felt clips and love brads.

I chose to use some pastel coloured patterned papers by BasicGrey for this card. I used almost all of the aspects of Nicole's sketch with exception of the bottom panel: I used this to stamp a friendship definition stamp by Hero Arts in this place.

For the misting aspect, I took a piece of the Hero Arts self-adhesive white trims and misted it with both a blue and an orange mist to add colour.

As you can see, I added some dimension to my card using multiple layers of the cute chair stamp from Papertrey ink.

Come and play along this week! We're giving away a prize from Artful Delight. You can check out what the rest of my fellow card team made using this week's concepts HERE.

When I think of Love and Valentine's Day, I think red, white and frilly! So for my first card creation I wanted to make it just that... red, white and frilly! LOL! So I made this...

Frilly Hearts

To create my card I started off by cutting a long strip of white paper and then edge punching the width of the paper strip. I cut my flaps of scalloped punched paper approximately 1 inch in width and then I stamped my cute little heart from the Seal It! stamp set. I used the scallops as my guidelines... so perfect! Then I layered the stamped scalloped strips with a little bit of distress inks along the edge on a piece of scrap paper. I created a fast frame and wrapped it with some cute heart ribbon and a heart charm and VOILA!... red, white and frilly!

You can see the scalloped edge detail a little better here...

For my final card, I wanted to create a font inspired front panel so I searched through all of my amazing myStamp BOX stamp sets to find all the love and Valentine's Day inspired sentiments to use. And I found a ton! Here's my font inspired card...

To celebrate this love inspired journey, I'm giving away a set of Making Memories "Love Notes" felt clips and a Making Memories "Je t'Adore" set of brads. How can you WIN this little LOVE RAK you ask? Just by commenting below and answering the following question...

It's my first official challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise Ponderings blog! This week I chose a photo of this cute little hootie-pie and that's the inspiration I asked the Challenge Design Team to use this week...

Isn't he cute???

Here's what I did with my own inspirational piece this week...

You're a Hoot

I chose to stick with a lot of the colours directly from the image so I found the My Mind's Eye, "Fine & Dandy" collection perfect for this card. I used Dapper, Shining, Daydream and Snappy. This collection is double sided and so much fun to work with!

Those cute little hooters are from the Technique Tuesday stamp set, "Wise Guys". I paper pieced them using the same MME "Fine & Dandy" papers to match the card colours. I used my all time favourite stamping ink, Tsukineko (Memento) in Rich Cocoa to stamp the owls, sentiment and branch.

Come and join the Challenge Team and play along with this week's challenge. Link up your creation using my inspirational piece by next Thursday at noon to play along. Check out the Scrapbooker's Paradise Ponderingsblog for further details!
